Server migration (finished) (lemmynsfw.com)

An ex-admin to whom we have given access to the server, has reported us to the server provider. Also we were already planning to migrate somewhere else. So right now we're moving to a more secure server.

I'll try to make a smooth transition. Any interaction (post, comment, like etc.) after 11AM (CET) will be deleted, but the site will not be down during migration. It will be an estimated 1 hour process.

Update: its done. Hopefully without problems. If you see this, you are on the new server.

Ha, man that sucks. Glad the transition went smoothly.

TBH this place has some strict rules regarding content so I am surprised that an ISP would even care. I'm guessing since this instance still hosts LGBT content it could put someone in hot water in some more morally strict countries.

First a back-end mod tries to poison the well. Now an admin tries to sabotage the servers. Seditionists everywhere!

I am curious how you knew who reported the server? Did the ISP inform you, or did the ex-admin tell you afterwards as some act of defiance? And what even caused them to do this in the first place?

Edit: Misread server provider as service provider. Please disregard the ISP related questions.

I got a complaint from Hetzner. He knew the IP and the provider.

You can easily look up the owner of the IP address space to get the provider.

Hetzner (server provider/hoster, not ISP) has strict no-porn rules. So even if you run the most vanilla stuff you can get booted from their service.

Ah, I misread server provider as service provider. This makes more sense.

Same guy imo
